What's in our name?

I rarely take time to explain the name of our farm. Some call us "Tri Lea", "Tri Gable", and "The Farm". There are other names for some of the homes on our street. There's "Thistle Rock", "Newski Knole", "Centennial Farm", "Sound View Farm" to name the ones I can recall. We wanted a name for ours as well, and we thought about it for years. 

Then all at once it came together. I was reading a book, "The Story of English in 100 Words" One of the oldest was lea. 

Lea

noun

1. a tract of open ground, especially grassland; meadow.
2. land used for a few years for pasture or for growing hay, then plowedover and replaced by another crop.
3. a crop of hay on tillable land 

adjective

4. untilled; fallow.
Almost every part of this definition fits our property. Part of it was an open meadow/hayfield, years before, cow had pastured in the field, then it sat fallow until we started to till and work the land. Another root meaning for "lea" was that the land was cleared by it's owner. This too fit; I took a summer vacation to clear the land the house sits on. It was on the edge of the field and was a wooded & brambled lot that I transformed into a clearing for our home. Some of you know of my accident in clearing the lot. 
Lea was the word we were waiting for to tie it all together. 

Tri Gable

Well this part of the name can be the easies to see. As you approach the property, you'll see our home with two standard gables and a cross gable in the front. We fell in love with Gothic Revival architecture of the late 1880's. I dream of the day when I add the gingerbread molding to the gable ends of the house as a way of creating a Neo Gothic Revival home. 

You'll also see the Tri Gable architecture repeated in miniature with our chicken coop, and in our workshop. 
So there you go. Now you know where Tri Gable Lea Farm came from. Here's how it's defined in my head: A Neo Gothic Revival homestead at the edge of a clearing that was cleared by settlers before us, kept open by cows on pasture and hay crops, lay fallow for decades, and the clearing expanded by the next generation. 
I've included an excerpt from the book here, and I encourage you to read the book too. You can find it on amazon in the link above.

  • Goodday to anyone seeing this post i recently enlisted one of personal chargeback recovery services and I must admit I was more than impressed. If you have been a victim of bitcoin or any cryptocurrency scam, I feel like it’s my duty to connect you all with a legit hacker like him. I started having a lot of issues with an investment company that goes by the name drip coin when I placed a withdrawal order for 297,000 USD From which I had with them. The so-called accountant disappeared, the support team did not respond to any of my emails and I thought it was over because I made the payments in crypto but I didn’t give up to have my funds back. Luckily for me with the help of Mr. JamesMCKAYWIZARD I was able to recover my funds. I salute him for his service his emails: jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp +316= 574= 46248.

  • I’m here to share a thrilling and beneficial review: I was able to recover my hijacked crypto funds held for about two months in my trading account. A total of 1,689,000 USD, including profits. A tragic experience, which later ended in gratitude and more exposure to the internet. This has been quite a journey, and I want to recount how it unfolded. I found myself in a frustrating predicament where a broker had unjustly restricted my access to my trading account, forcing me to invest more. During that time, I felt completely in the dark, unsure of whether I would ever see my money again. The uncertainty was overwhelming, and I had almost resigned myself to the idea that I would never recover my funds. Fortunately, I was able to retrieve my invested funds without any hassle, which has brought back the happiness in my household. The process of recovery was made possible thanks to the expertise of MetaTechRecoveryPro, a licensed specialist in binary options recovery with years of success under their belt. A family friend introduced me to MetaTechRecoveryPro. I am incredibly grateful for that referral, as it changed the whole storyline. Their reputation for assisting individuals like me in reclaiming lost or stolen crypto funds is well-known, and I can personally attest to their perfection.

They graciously took the burden of recovering my funds, as they ensured they used all the tools and software at their disposal. I want to caution anyone who may be dealing with brokers who suggest making further deposits before allowing withdrawals. This tactic can often be a red flag, and it’s crucial to approach such situations with vigilance and skepticism, as they only have outcomes, draining you financially and emotionally.
